It sounds quite strange, a VNC client for the iPhone. But incredible it works! I’ve used the Mocha VNC client because it is compatible with all known VNC server solutions. There are also other VNC clients available, but as far as I know they are not working together with all VNC server solutions.
I’ve tested the VNC client in a WiFi via a VPN connection to a Linux Red Hat Enterprise 3 server with the VNC server that comes with the Red Hat Enterprise distribution. After creating a profile and starting the remote connection a small surprise: a warning the my iPhone is low on memory. Funny, never seen such a warning before on my iPhone. But nevertheless the connection works.
The client supports landscape mode as well. And it’s possible to change the zoom of the remote display. Mouse handling is maybe not perfect but basically it works to remote control your server. I’ve not yet checked it over a G3 connection, it maybe a little bit slow. But for emergency cases it can be useful.

“Domain Scout” is maybe not a power tool but it’s free and useful for IT and network administrators. It’s helpful for easy whois queries to check if a domain is available, have a look at the DNS and registrar details.
